Kino of the highest order.
Tried Cowboy Bebop & Samurai Champloo, bailed out on both after one episode, childish edgy cringe
>>221133267I only watch anime movies, not TV shows. Well exception is I watched GitS TV show as I am a GitS fan.Try the godzilla movies, they are really good, even if a bit strange premise. There is a trilogy of them made not so long ago.

>>221133227Slow and incoherent garbage
trannycore
>>221133372It was fucking 1998, give them a break
>>221133384>toy commercial?Well maybe you should not watch it then. From that retarded shit you just posted we can already ascertain you are a penisless retard (american) so watching any media made for even a double digit IQ person would be wasted on you.
>>221133398Textbook FILTERED
I never understood why this amateurish crap is held in such a high regard. The animation is terrible. It feels like baby's first time watching David Lynch and The X-Files and they thought they were really clever making this hacky nonsense.
>>221133429Please explain wtf is so deep about a franchise that is merely a vehicle for moving chinese plastic through walmart?

>>221133267Anime ain't for you if you bailed on Cowboy Bebop early.
>>221134070good thing i'm into slopes at least
>>221134727He's talking about Godzilla, retard-kun.
>>221134855You didn't need to be rude just because I didn't read the previous comment
>>221133805That song's one of the fucking best.
I enjoyed Cowboy Bebop but didn't care for Lain much.Not only that, I felt totally clickbaited after being done with it, because the iconic picture of her being all smug and sly looking everyone loves posting online and making memes of, it happens only once in the entire show, only in a very short scene, with her looking exactly like OP's picture for rest of it.
>>221133227good show unfortunately trannies have taken over the fanbase over the years
>>221133850And you're a soulless faggot
Lain is one of the few actually good animes. Good music and art, actually has something to say, only 13 episodes since it didn't need more than that.
>>221133267Damn, you are a dullard. Those were incredible well made. They kept the kawaii silliness to a minimum. You are missing out on classic storylines.
>>221133469And you don't seem to understand...

>>221135460I dont know where this started from. It was a completely 4chan bullshit supposition.
>>221136139Lain is terminally online and autistic, so she's like 99% of trannies.
>>221133267Imagine getting filtered by pure sovl and undisputed kino. Sad.
>>221133227it's just typical random = deep japanese wannabe schizo slop, a few interesting ideas and visuals but nothing more
>>221136151So is fucking everyone on tv!!!!!Are you all trannies!!???!???
>>221136233>Are you all trannies!!???!???
Lain is like the anime version of Earthbound, it’s “fans”haven’t actually watched it they just like the aesthetics of le computer hacker girl
Say what you want about the show, but the vibes can't be made again today. It worked for me as some weird 90s experimental show you watch drifting in and out on a couch. Most anime today is overindulgent ADHD brain rotted dogmeal and I shan't watch even a millisecond.
>>221133227why is her show so underrated on this sub?
>>221136275Only played an hour of earthbound but did watch lain twice all the way through and listen to boa all the time. It is the cat's meow.
>>221133227Alex Garland stole music from Lain for 28 Days Later. In one of the final episodes where Lain is talking with the mysterious guy in an alley with an electric pole in the background is the same song that plays when Jim is having the dream where he wakes up alone in the field. I feel like I am crazy because no one has every brought it up but it's real.
>>221138630Put the scene together from YouTube. You might be right. Kojima listened to so.e russian composer who had a suspiciously similar song to the metal gear theme.
For me, it's Heldensagen vom Kosmosinselhttps://youtu.be/Ou37P25tjJY?is=wMu1VECTUQpiuYMR
>>221138684Lainhttps://youtu.be/m-uTkyOmf0I?is=YIPOhCEWvdn3lR2f13:20 is about where it starts28 Days Laterhttps://youtu.be/SvMRxVqhxms?is=HwBswBpMGkdZalS0
>>221138876Good ear, it does sound like that. The screaming also sounds like that song from gorillaz where its just a guy shouting hello over and over again.
>>221135518I bet it's some generic ass story with no twists or anything
>>221133227the twin peaks of Chuds
>>221133227Literally makes no sense. Cool aesthetics but ultimately hollow.
>>221139460>Literally makes no senseWdym?
>>221139469The whole show is just one long nonsensical dream sequence. There's nothing to take away from it.
>>221133848You anime people sure like to throw that word around a lot.
>>221134754Cowboy Bebop is kinda of anime that your middle aged female co-worker claims to love. She always qualifies it by saying "i hate anime..... but...."
>>221139366"twists" are for idiots.

>>221133267fpbp
I really like this amv and never get to share it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mecGVVIuiFM
I always took this scene as some kind of Christ analogy. Am I skitzo?
>>221133469I must have missed the part where x files or David Lynch produce a show about the schumann resonance bringing a textbook accurate depiction of Jung's collective unconscious into existence and merging it with Internet culture to a T decades before it ever reached such a point. It's sad that a show which actually has an extremely detailed and coherent plot is written off as even remotely as nonsensical as Lynch of all things just because 99% of people are straight up illiterate and incapable of basic media analysis. They literally included an episode which spells out the entire plot of the show in no uncertain terms (infonography) and people STILL want to claim it's all nonsense. Are you actually just retarded? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.
>>221141905It's definitely trying to evoke ChristFun fact: the phrase the dad says "we'll have tea with madeleines" is a reference to Proust's "In Search of Lost Time". The book describes what's now called a madeleine moment or "involuntary memory", such as when you bite into a food from your childhood and have a flood of memories come rushing back. Basically it's talking about how despite the fact that Lain erased herself she can't erase the way she made others feel and the way she impacted them, at least not completely. This is why Alice says she feels like she knows Lain when they meet on the bridge despite the fact that she literally rewrote reality so that Alice is old enough to date her teacher. Lain says "I'll always be with you" or something like that because she knows that she wasn't fully erased and still exists in the unconscious of her friends
>>221141905>33 KB JPG> I always took this scene as some kind of Christ analogy. Am I skitzo?No.
>>221134034See what I mean about retards who are probably straight up illiterate calling it nonsense? The show explicitly tells you the entire plot with an entire episode devoted to the narrator explaining it and they still act like it's "lol so randumb" I get saying you don't understand it, but saying it doesn't make sense is one of the biggest pseud indicators I've ever seen. They spell it out for you in plain English. Maybe the subtitles are too fast for them to read? You'd be surprised how many people just can't read subtitles fast enough and so they miss out on parts of a show and blame the show for it lol.
>>221133469I don't see the X Files comparison at all

I like it a lot, but the 2026 update is better.
>tranimeGrow up.
>>221141912lol probably bait but lit readers really do pretend people should pick up on crap that's not commonly taught to the average person when watching media. Like, ghost in the shell is watched because it looks cool.

>>221143373post your gyno tits
>>221142021It's because of the ayy that appears on Lain's door and the MJ-12 infodump about the internet being a glownigger/mystical plan. Plus the gangstalking.
You always know you’re in a zoomer thread when retards are spamming every title imaginable… without mentioning Trigun… https://youtu.be/XzcO1_cJ2_c
>>221143373Lain is an actual woman with a vagina though, unlike troons.
>>221133850>Kek. You faggotDid you lose your shit and scream at the tv screen when David Lynch said people should stop being transphobic or die?
>>221139366What if... the bebop was cow... all along...? Wow, now that makes for an amazing story. Why didn't the writers think of that? What could have been...
>>221133267FPBP. All tranime is pure shit.
>>221143540wdym, Trigun is not some secret to zoomers. Literally ran on adult swim with the bumpers and everything that we definitely didn't miss despite being toddlers.(t. zoom..)
>>221142286Stopped reading at death parade
>>221133227I tried watching this but it's so fucking ugly. Absolute garbage animation and artstyle. Story moved at a snail's pace so I guess I never picked it up again after whatever episode because I wasn't interested in what would happen next.
bro what if the internet was like an evil AI getting people to kill themselves.but it isn't?no but what if! imagine!ok but the internet is just a way to get advertising to people so they can do e-commerce and some online dating maybe.nooooo, it's a too deep for you religious cult of technology, satan is like some AI that is taking control of people using neural networks!!!!*walks away*
>>221133227I don't understand
This show seemed deep but I didn't understand much of it
Keep praying every day that tiktok/pinterest posers dont discover the REAL peak of yoshitoshi abe kino

>>221134034truest quote ive heard on 4chan once:if seriel experiments lain had a boy as its MC it wouldnt be popular"
>>221133227The show itself sucks. It's all about aesthetic and mood, and that's what people liked about it.Not because the story or characters were good, or anything actually made any fucking sense.I'm also convinced that anyone who likes this is a femboy, don't ask me why I think that.
>>221145389that quote is retarded and so are you
>>221143337They produced the series.
>>221143337I think you mean the Laserdisc makers
>>221133812shitty deflectionat least try to be funny next time

>>221143891>he didn't stop reading at the name
>>221141912so your post was almost correct except you'd have be double-retarded to think Lynch is nonsensical and to fail to understand his movies

>>221145726>replies day laterJust confirming anons conjecture here
>>221146829>claims to be oldfag>gets trolled this easily after supposedly decades on 4chan
>>221146885Everyone still here that pretends to be an oldfag is some tranny zoomer trying to be esoterically relevant and 4chancore anyways. Us real ogs keep ourselves to ourselves.
>>221141912Close to being based and then you get Lynched and become retarded. Its actually mind-blowing to me that so many double digit iq posters here still cite "lynch is le nonsensical" and expect to be taken seriously, you can criticize lynch and have the opinion that his style is ineffective or tedious but everything hes ever made has quite obvious substance and purpose for the plot, themes and emotion that his films are conveying and the fact that you'd name drop Jung and somehow still fail to understand Lynch at all tells me that youre just parroting shit you dont understand (a shame, you seemed an honest man)

>>221133398Filtered, the themes become evident by like ep 6-7 iircIt's not my favorite or an amazingly fun watch, but it's still very poignant for today's world. You watch it if you're a meme addict or one of those people who likes watching old 80s movies and going >this is JUST like today!!!1!

>>221147056I never criticized Lynch at all, just saying Lain isn't as nonsensical as his quintessential work.
>>221147449>nonsensical as his quintessential work.Blue Velvet is "nonsensical"? Elephant Man? I just named his two best films and they are as straight forward as they come. Nobody looks at his later shit as "quintessential". That's just objectively false.
>>221147056Lynch literally writes movies based on dreams without knowing the ending and you think it's comparable to something with a straightforward plot?Even Lynch wouldn't agree his stuff "makes sense" in a traditional sense, that's not what he's attempting to do at all with his work. What is this cope?
Chiaki J. Konaka is based and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
>>221147501only a /tv/oid watches A Straight Story and goes "WH-WH-WHAT HAPPENED!?!?!?"

>>221147494How did I fucking know you'd be this autistic and flat out wrong when I simply said Lynch is thought of as quintessentially dreamlike and nonsensical. Do you even respect the man if you reject the definition of the word "Lynchian"?? I highly doubt he disagreed with the word coined as his namesake.
>>221147363What are you talking about, it's pure chuunikino
>>221147720>I simply said Lynch is thought of as quintessentially dreamlike and nonsensical.Are you purposely choosing to be retarded or are you really this stupid? I'm literally responding directly to your post here >>221147449 that explicitly states...>I never criticized Lynch at all, just saying Lain isn't as nonsensical as his quintessential work.in which I then replied with two of his most QUINTESSENTIAL works, and now your dumbass is saying shit like >flat out wrong when I simply said Lynch is thought of as quintessentially dreamlike and nonsensical.when that isn't what you just said in the post I'm replying to you fucking idiot. You didn't say shit about Lynch being quintessentially "dreamlike" in that post or anything about the definition of Lynchian. I am SOLEY talking about your comment about his quintessential works are nonsensical which I disagreed with because they aren't. Learn how to read

Not gonna claim the vast majority of it isn't nonsense, but there were interesting ideas in there. Especially the idea that the Wired ends up blurring the distinction between the virtual and the real, making people's lives worse. I think there have been enough exemples of this happening in reality since the series was released, especially with social media, to support that.

>>221141912Only idiot teenagers or people in their early 20s think any of that sounds remotely interesting.Give me anime where Lupin is outwitting Detective Zenigata for the 50th time by wearing a cheap mask any day over this pretentious horse shit. And i'm saying this as someone who literally owns the Lain box set on DVD. (I bought it 20 years ago when i was an idiot in my early 20s who thought that shit was deep and interesting),
>>221147056Wild at Heart is one of the most entertaining and straightforward movies ever made. And it's probably my fave of his.
>>221147102akiba maid war is actual kino
>>221142286Some good stuff in there anon but then you blow your credibility with shit like steins gate and elfen lied, and you've put one of shinichiro watanabes weakest shows in there instead of his many superior ones.Also Stand ALone Complex might have some interesting themes in it but it's utterly ruined by the inclusion of those jaja binks robots.
>>221151544You are a midwife, im sorry. Try monster to see if you can be cured.
its very slow for a 20 minute show
>>221142286Fucked up on the first line, didn't even read the rest
>>221143540Trigun is one of the few Shounen's that's not completely terrible, in fact it's quite watchable even if you're not a 12 year old. (I'm 45 for eg).There's about half a dozen shounen's that are decent, so that makes Trigun an extreme rarity.
>>221147203you can tell from the getgo whats going on but its still very slow. doesnt make it bad, you jsut have ro be in a similar mood to watch it. you cant jusr put it on randomly and enjoy it. a lot of good films act like this as well. its a cinematic journey and discovery of pleasures that isnt made to be simply consumed but experienced. lived with. i for one wont say lain is bad, but it wasnt for me at the moment i tried it. it might be at some point, when i get the urge.
>>221151765>but then you blow your credibility with shit like steins gate and elfen lied,THAT'S what took you out? Not K-pop Demon Hunters? Seriously?
>>221151544>owns the Lain box set on DVD. (I bought it 20 years ago when i was an idiot in my early 20s who thought that shit was deep and interesting)Same. To be honest I haven't rewatched it since but I have good memories of it. It also got me to research some things like magnetic fields more in-depth. It's a short show, so I would still say it's worth a watch even today. I wouldn't call it deep, but it does have interesting ideas.
>>221152370What did you find out? Did you link it to the aural therapy that gifted and talented program for kids?
>>221152402I connected it to auras and spiritual energy. It was super deep.
Every lain poster I've ever encountered is the most insufferable narcissist faggot imaginable
>>221141912>They literally included an episode which spells out the entire plot of the show in no uncertain termsholy midwit
>>221134727*areyou DUMB esl FAGGOT
>the producer desperately wanted this show to be the start of "a holy war against western media"I still have no idea how that was supposed be. It's funny that it did so well in the west though. What about the show is anti-western?
For me it's the wild adventures of the Chinese electric Bamtan
>>221150641>Whoops. Posted wrong pic on accident.Had this recommended but fucking hate the color palette and while I know it's a show about a dystopia but everything is soo washed out that they might as well have done it in black & white!!!FACT!!!
>>221154270Yeah, I love Lain but ergo proxy is just downright ugly and it put me off ever watching it. That and if I wanted to watch a show like Ergo Proxy I would watch Texhnolyze instead which is also quite ugly and slow as shit but probably better since it's written by Konaka. But who knows, I haven't seen either
>>221151765Of all the things on that list, that's what you're miffed at?? Wtf? Stein's Gate is one of the greatest stories ever written
>>221152152He's right that both of those are really bad though. I haven't watched K-poop so I have no opinion on it.
I have about 250 anime on MAL and these are the only ones I've rated 10/10. Ghost in the Shell movie is missing at the top, couldn't fit it in the screen shot. The two that you don't recognize are Portrait de Petite Cossette which is one of the most kino gothic horror stories I've ever seen in any medium and the other is Shingu Secret of the Stellar Wars but none of you would like that. It's too comfy for normies to enjoy
For me it's 80s and 90s anime movies. They consistently manage to top one another for literally the coolest thing I've ever seen Like Macross Plus, Venus Wars, Golgo 13 (and the sequel Queen Bee), Crusher Joe (literally Star wars but good, actually that describes a number of anime movies)
>>221147102these are the best of that list
>>221154726My anime list? I will check out the ones you mentioned, never heard of them. I liked gunslinger girl so eurocentric anime is interesting.
>>221155439Are you asking for my MAL? It's Toran71If you want some euro centric anime I'd highly recommend Gankutsuo which is an adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo and is one of the most unique and beautiful animations ever made.And also The Mystical Archives of Dantalion
>>221155855Saw it already, agreed it was radiant and the art style was unlike anything else. Had no idea what mal meant but I figured it out. The caveziel is my favorite for the chetaue d'lf scenes.
>>221143373And there it is
>>221141912>textbook accurate depiction of Jung's collective unconscious into existenceYou have clearly never read Jung. The collective unconscious is not some borg hive mind collective, it is simply the contents of the psyche that are common to the whole of humanity. Try reading a book.
>>221133267>childish edgy cringeThat is precisely the exact reason why manchildren love anime.
>>221155989That's literally what he said retard BRINGING it into existence implies it turns from a concept describing the sum of human psyche into a real situation
>>221133227meh
>>221143337Yes they made a multi video/audio track thing to show off DVDs too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImtunaHC5g&list=PL0B362C55007E8E44&index=1
>>221133802I'm certain literally no one has watched it. And even the people who watched it didn't follow it. I rewatched it recently on cytube with some autists and no one fucking noticed an entire episode was missing from the playlist lmao
DJ Lain is best Lain.
>>221135551>monster is a GoliathI was so let down by the ending
>>221146149what do you like?
>>221133227
>>221133227>>221146149>>221156794Every single person who genuinely hates this anime after having seen clips of it is always the most pretentious or dumb faggot you'll ever meet. SEL is a masterpiece.>>221141912Based lynch hater and SEL lover, SEL is something Lynch wished he could make.>>221138876Cool find, not surprised a great writer was directly inspired by SEL.>"And you don't seem to UNDERSTAND"Based show writer calling out psuedos decades ahead of time too stupid to get the show in the literal intro to the show
>>221158434I agree with everything you said but can you stop saying SEL lmao
>>221156781Thank you, I was going to say that but I forgot to post before falling asleep lol. And nothing in Lain or Jung is like a borg hive mind >>221155989Dumbass.
I bought this a while back. It's trash but it's rare trash now. >>221159217Why tf would you care, that's literally just the abbreviation.
Post your favorite duvet remixeshttps://youtu.be/K00pcctFIuY
>>221157629So this is in two weeks? JJ Chikada isn't very good desu but Lain DJ looks so cool that I don't care. I'll be there, I even got her sisters album>>221159625
>>221133634Texchznolyzefucking devastated me man...
>>221133267This. I could only stomach studio ghibli movies, and even those left me embarassed for watching them overtime
Despera fucking never
>got owned by lynch and has to watch 2nd rate cartoons to copeKWABOOTY
>>221159634unironically loved this Mash-up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRfyV7KvC8s
>>221133267Watch Angel's Egg
>>221147056
>>221149472Damn. I actually have been buying a buncha Lupin soundtracks recently
>>221133227Im probably just late to the party but I watched lain for the first time last week and it didnt leave any impression on meyes its visionary but overall it just kinda gets boring towards the end and it feels like nothing happened at allits not hard to follow or trying to be obtuse like most of these "avant garde" anime, instead its pretty straight forward with its message but it has 0 impact on anyone watching today because we have the wired and its much worse than lain ever predicted
>>221159625Because it sounds stupid and everyone knows what you mean when you say Lain, just call it lain or actually say serial experiments lain
>>221133227Whenever I watch any of these 2deep4u anime "psychological" horror/sci fisE.g paranoia agent, neon genesis>Nothing happens>Boring>Slow quiet talking about nothing >Nonsensical bullshit>Whole episode nothing happens DROPPED
>>221133227Bored me out of my brain. I had to force myself to finish it. The only good part was the intro song.
>>221151367This seems cool I like short anime that doesn't have 1000 episodes so I'm gonna give this a shot
Most anime is too long, slow and boring for me to watch these daysReading manga on the other hand, is pure SOVL and based
>>221133412>trannycoreThey sure do love anime.
>>221160581agreed most of them are kinda boring because they lack actual plot and story progression like in lain you can skip 2-3 episodes and watch the finale and you wouldnt miss anythinghere are three slow, pretentious, 2deep4u or however you wanna call them that I actually enjoyed>cashern sins>mawaru penguindrumand the best anime ever made, shinsekai yori
>>221160705I tried watching the 90s RK anime due to its extreme popularity, but found it lacking. I did not watch the whole thing. How does the manga compare? Does the anime only get good after a while?
>>221161137Yeah the anime SUCKS. The manga is much better and gets stronger and stronger. I'm around chapter 50 now and really enjoying it, however have been told to stop after the Kyoto arc as that is a self contained storyline and the author only continued it afterwards due to demand.I heard the anime picks up too around the Kyoto arc and may give it a shot some time, but for now the manga is good. The coloured version is easy to find online, and although I usually prefer manga in black and white, the coloured version has really grown on me
>>221160940Penguindrum??? You say you can skip episodes in Lain but then go on to praise fucking Penguindrum??? WtfAnd I actually liked the show for the first half before it just starts dragggggggging on and on
>>221160940>shinsekai yorii quite liked this one as well, wouldn't call it slow or pretentious though, it was a fairly standard higher quality anime. there were a couple of trippy scenes iirc and that's it.
>>221161644I dont know it just always come to my mind when we talk about these kind of shows and lets be honest they all drag literally every single one of them and it doesnt matter if you like it or notthese messages arent meant to be told in a 12+ episode anime they have barely enough substance for a movie, thats why perfect blue for example works perfectlynice pacing, good story and ends fast enough for you to crave for just a second morenow can you imagine pefect blue but they added 2 hours filler of her being an idol or some shit?
What are some good underrated/obscure anime series from before 1995?
>>221160581Attention spans, another thing that belongs to the distant, mysterious past
>>221161714I wish this would be the standard but its a complete outlier especially in world building, I dont think I ever saw an anime with better one
>>221161785perfect blue isn't a good movie
>>221161816yeah maybe i should have said straightforward, rather than standard. i meant that it wasn't doing any hallucinations and dream sequences and convoluted plots and such. it's definitely an outlier in terms of quality
>>221161794Mahuotsukai TaiShamanic PrincessBoth by Triangle studios (who did Lain). They're both from like 96 or 98, sue me. Mahou Tsuki Tai or Magic Users Club is basically like anime Fantasia, but better. Very pretty and beautiful and heart-warming and not exactly a show for children despite how it appears.
>>221161794For stuff before 95 you should really be watching anime moviesMacross Plus and Macross Do you Remember Love are both 11/10Golgo 13 The Professional and Golgo 13 Queen Bee (literally just anime versions of bad ass crime drama movies)11-nin-iru (spaceship mystery drama)And these last three I'm grouping together as "Star Wars rip-offs", but rest assured they are amazing, maybe even better than Star Wars, certainly better than the new movies lolSpace Adventure Cobra movieCrusher JoeChoujin Locke
After a while you realise most anime is a rehash of the same archetypes and plotIf you want the best of the respective genre just watch DBZELFEN LIEDHELLSING 2002and just stop there desu don't bother with anything else
>>221161795>Not liking watching paint dry for 10 hours means you have a low attention span
>>221162025Oh and watch the famous OVA movies like FOTNS, ninja scroll, vampire hunter d, kite etc They are famous because they're the best. The rest is crap
>>221161794>AlsoCleopatra DC (gunsmith cats but better)El-Hazard (og isekai)And here are some OVA I rated 6 or higher Roujin ZAi CityLong Distance Call (horror)
What's the matter, Sphinx? Too deep for you? Maybe you should try a baby anime like Lucky Star!
>>221162097Its giving mikami the ghost hunter vibes. Never heard of it.
>>221142286Boogiepop Phantom is better than SEL imo. I really love BP's vibe. Sure, it has the same problem of a confusing plot mostly carried by it's atmosphere, but BP does a better job at it. Good music and love the way the anime looks dreamy. The newer one is kinda trash from what I gathered tho.>Paranoia Agent - a masterpiece until episode 9Honestly, I remember very little of PA, but tbf, I binged it late at night nearly a decade ago. The OP is pure mino tho, and I liked the ghost episode. Honestly, I think the whole show should have been like that episode.
>>221163641boo-gee-oh-poop is an anthology series. that's why the "plot" is so confusing.
>>221163641Boogiepop Phantom and the recent seque Boogiepop and Others are both in the middle of the series. You kinda need to read the books to understand wtf is going on but having read the first book I can tell you that it is extremely confusing even from the beginning. The guy in Boogiepop Phantom that eats the spiders? Yeah that doesn't make sense in the books either. He like, eats their worries and anxieties but for some reason it's a bad thing somehow and he must be killed? The bugs do look juicy though
>>221142009Holy trannoid cope
>>221163040ngl I don't think I could recommend Lucky Star to any zoomer. What makes Lucky Star good is having watched the previous 3-5 years of anime to get all the references. It's like watching Carnival Phantasm without having read Tsukihime or Fate/Stay Night.
>>221164385Yeah, I was never that much into anime in my youth, and I recently started watching Lucky Star. I don't get it at all, and I don't like how masturbatory it feels.
>>221164524A lot of the punchlines are simply the voice actors saying quotes from other anime they were recently in, but in a more lax tone since it's in a high school setting. It's a celebration of late 90's/early 00's anime
>>221143677>What if... the bebop was cow... all along...?Taking notes.
>>221135048People who post like that haven't seen the show sadly.
Tranime
>>221163641The ending of Episode 8 Happy Family Planning had a profound impact on me. The girls reaction and the way their singing fades into silence, I don't know and can't explain why but it was overwhelming and made me cry...https://youtu.be/HEa9ubxuVZ4?si=tCEYdriXjR97_WcN!!!FACT!!!
Baccano has the best dub of all time.If you aren't familiar, the setting is prohibition era America and everyone has proper accents in the English dub.
>>221142286There are a ton of bad shows on this list. Akiba's Trip? Steins;Gate? Demon Slayer? Really?
>>221165047>good dubNo such animal
>>221165127I used to believe that, truly. There's like 2 or 3 anime out of 200 that I'd watch dubbed over subbed, and Baccano is one of them since it's actually set in America and the characters are improved with New Jersey accents.
>>221165127shut up
>>221165127https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC6T3_O2iWc
>>221165127some anime are genuinely inferior experiences in japanese. it just happens that of course most of the time it's the other way around and the english dub is cringe shit.death note, cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell are way better in english for example
>some dubs are good actuallyNo (You)'s for you.
>>221164385Lucky Star is enjoyable in its own right
>>221145936Lain is the antithesis of Gnosticism, retard. The main villain is an outright stand in for a demiurge figure too stupid to know they're not a god and not in control. Lain is the Logos. Media literacy itt is abysmal. Simon de Montfort did nothing wrong.
>>221167165you want to be smart so bad
>>221167314Gay ass shaming only works on reddit, comrade. I used to be a gnostic faggot but once I actually read some metaphysics I quickly dropped that garbage on it's head. Gnosticism is a litmus test of being stuck at being midwit or not.
>>221168139>once I actually read some metaphysics I quickly dropped that garbage on it's headOut of curiosity, what did you ended up choosing instead?
